But these are never linked to his life or work well enough for them to carry any weight. The flashback scenes of marital strife try to give us some indication of what sort of person Will is. Central to this is Butler's Will, who manages to be equal parts real estate developer, vigilante warrior, and super sleuth - basically whatever the convoluted plot needs him to be in order to move things forward. Saving its Taken-like revenge rampage for the closing stages, Last Seen Alive still can't manage to create a sense of intrigue about any of its characters.

There is some discussion of Lisa's infidelities and a man is also seen in just his underwear. Drugs are also dealt and manufactured at scale in some scenes, while there is also some drug use, including a character smoking an unidentified substance from a pipe. Various characters are motivated by money - Will's wealth plays a factor in his efforts to find his wife. Swearing is constant, with multiple variations of "f-k" used throughout. Detective Patterson also uses force when dealing with violent criminals who are reluctant to talk to him. The most extreme cases include gun violence, shootings, and death, with some bloody injuries but no gore.
Violence features occasionally, as Will resorts to desperate means.
The movie hinges on suspense and certain characters not being honest with Will and Detective Roy Patterson ( Russell Hornsby), who each carry out their own investigations into Lisa's possible abduction. Real estate developer Will Spann ( Gerard Butler) is trying to save his marriage when his wife, Lisa ( Jaimie Alexander), suddenly disappears. Parents need to know that Last Seen Alive is an action thriller with strong language, some bloody violence, and drugs.
